Stats for each sim, like an RPG. And a more robust relationship system.

That sounds interesting. I'm not very familiar with RPGs, what would the stats look like?

A lot them would precipitate an overhaul of the traits and skills system - which is either too binary (traits) or not impactful enough (skills). For example, I'd prefer it if my sims had some level of ambition, rather than simply be ambitious or not because they don't have the trait.

I'd combine some of the traits with skills, and we would be able to "roll" these stats in CAS, with less points available for younger sims. We'd have base stats like humor, intelligence, charisma, handiness, endurance, greed, confidence, ambition, cleanliness, flirtiness, etc. From there, we would select certain perks for our sim, based on stat thresholds.

But the important thing would be that each of these impacts what our sim can do in the game to a significant degree and also control what perks they qualify for. So a sim with a humor stat of 8 would then be able to choose some cool humor-based perks at creation.

I also think that the stats of adult sims should be very hard to raise through gameplay. Kind of like when you reach a high level in an RPG and levelling up can be painfully slow. Furthermore, elders should start losing points from their stats.

I'd really like to have the ability to visit your sims in the workplace like the Get To Work expansion, but with some of the jobs in the base game. :)

I do like the idea of banks, though maybe not as detailed in the original post. I'd especially like the ability to split money between household members -- you'd have the base household account then every member would have their own portion. It would make part-time jobs for teens a lot more meaningful -- they could save money for their own place or the eventual University experience. Right now, you could have a teen who takes up programming in their spare time, make a few thousand Simoleons making apps or doing freelance work, but when they move out they lose that money and are stuck with the base §20K. Or you have a roommate, the roommate gets married and you get kicked out with all the money you earned lost (and even the goodies you earned in career rewards get left behind so you have to buy them all oover again). Or the roommate moves out and you get all his/her money and stuff.
